You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/yabb2/AdminIndex.plOct 10th, 2012 at 1:37am

I'm at my wit's end with this. I have v2.4, and all of a sudden, with literally no change to anything since the last time I've used it, I'm getting the error in the topic whenever I try to make a change to the forum itself. It's popping up now when I go into Forum Layout > Template Configuration. If I tried to adjust anything, I get that error.

So I've looked for help topics on the subject, and I've found discussions relating to file permissions. All of my file permissions are correct, I have CHMOD ability thru my server/FTP. All of that is good.

I tried upgrading to v2.5. Still does it!

What am I missing? What info can I give you to help further?

ok what are the CHMOD you have used on AdminIndex.plthe CHMOD default for this is 755

also I take it that YaBB.pl is loading fine and it is just AdminIndex.pl that is the problem

also can you take a look at .htaccess in the root of your website and also the .htaccess in /yabb2/

also can you open up AdminIndex.pl and look for #!/usr/bin/perl -- on line one

YaBB install help video1. what yabb forum are you running and the url2. describe in as much detail as you can what happens and also post screenshots if you can3. please be patient we live in different time zones and have other commitments but we will help youas bill and ted say (Be excellent to each other)

Also check the permissions on the yabb/Templates/ folder and all the folders inside it (The folders should be 755 and the files 644 but you may need to change the files to 666.) Same with the yabbfiles/Templates - make sure the folders and file permissions are correct.)

Also check and see if there are any errors in your server error log, not the YaBB error log.

@xnoddyx - it sounds like he's able to access the Admin Center, but not able to save things from it. My suspicion is write privileges to the various folders.

And since this apparently happened suddenly without any changes on his part, I also suspect the change came from the hosting service messing around.

If you only have one solution to a problem you're not trying hard enough!

ok cool and thank you for checking so after this i also now think the same as Dandello so if you can try Dandello wrote on Oct 10th, 2012 at 4:06pm:

ok this looks like it is a paths prob in the admin center can you checkPath Settings for HTML Dir:from your error log i can see it will look something like/home/midohi/public_html/yabbfiles/

I think that just means I don't have a 403 (or 404).shtml file, which I don't. I only have a 500.shtml in there.

ok now as the HTML Dir: was set okcan you also check Templates Dir: this will be/home/midohi/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templatesor/home/midohi/public_html/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates

ok now for the permission test /yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default.css is set to CHMOD of 644also test/home/midohi/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates is set to CHMOD of 755or/home/midohi/public_html/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates is set to CHMOD of 755

/home/midohi/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates/default is set to CHMOD of 755or/home/midohi/public_html/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates/default is set to CHMOD of 755

also all files in/home/midohi/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates/default or/home/midohi/public_html/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates/defaultis set to CHMOD of 644if the CHMOD dont work try 777 for the dirs and 666 for the files in /home/midohi/public_html/cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates
